Tiguan Wolfsburg Edition - Photos

Are there other alternatives to keep bugs out? I know when driving between Sydney and Canberra, I smash onto loads of em

Car bra. So you can remove it at the end of the trip. But then you end up with rub marks on your paint.

I don't think there's a great solution but fly wire is reasonably good on the outside and most auto shops will sell light weight aluminium mesh which can be installed into the grille if you want to do the disassembly (which is actually not that hard).

I’m a panel beater for one of Sydney’s leading prestige smash repairers in western syd. And yeah when I was younger I loved doing modifications lol. Now I just do what I think needs to be done. Like protect the coolers. But I’m more than happy to help any body out or if you have questions. There’s a bit of a process on taking European cars apart. Lots of strong clips holding every thing together.

Cool, that means I can start ordering body kits from Malaysia so I can come to your place to have them fitted on, yay!

Whilst doing the grill I noticed the air intake has a factory cold air intake. But it’s just been blocked off. Not sure if it’s for newer models that will come with it or not. But any ways I thought while I’m at it I’ll just cut out the factory blocked air intakes and bam. Cold air intake done. This will be perfect with a k&n air filter. And being a turbo it will have a little more response and fuel savings which is a plus. I think vw blocks them off because they make a little bit of noise when under load. But I like the noise of the turbo. So yeah it’s good.
im half way with cutting them out I’ll take more pics when im finished chopping these out so it makes more cense

I don’t like the idea of the brake covers. I think at a glance they would look good. But when you look at big brakes like brembos you tend to look at them cause there so nice to look at. But when you have a good look you will tell there fake and than they just look cheep. That’s my opinion.

Agree . Don't pretend it's something that its not. Vw should have put better brakes on the Wolf. Also should have done some Alcantara inside to differentiate some more.

Yep spot on. At the end of the day it’s not a Mercedes AMG or a Audi SQ5. That’s been built for speed. If it was a Tiguan R...than yeah it would have all the go fast bits. I’m gonna do mine in a couple of weeks. I like to do mine properly. Not completely take them off the car cause that means bleeding brakes and etc but I’ll be taking out the pads and smoothing out the calliper so there’s none of that rough texture on them. They will look smooth and glossy. A little bit of work but will definitely be worth it. It’s not hard to do. But I’ll take pictures when I do them.

After a few exchanges with Josh from Outwest Creations Detailing, apparently he uses the High Temperature enamel paint cans from VHT or Dupli Color. Is the paint trust worthy?

Any advise if he is good and of the paint products?

Some examples of his work:
